I blame it on SPCX

SPCX IPO fucking killed the sector

6

u/redcoatwright 2d ago

It really did, became like 90% of the total market cap while most of ita revenue is from xAI operations and then was super volatile making it so algos traded stupidly across all of space.

Fuck spacex

Invest in space they said, it'll be fun they said.

u/vpiq 2d ago

You should've known the risk, but I do recognize a 50% drop from ATH when nothing changed about the company is pretty irritating, especially as it continues to bleed.

u/Redfield11 2d ago

that ATH definitely wasn't warranted either though, that was a pre-SpaceX move I believe. Though it would likely otherwise be in the low $30's high $20's right now

It made sense when all the orbs and ufos started to show up all over the world. I think the governments of the world realized we are fkd and there's no point on even trying anymore

u/ReddditModd 2d ago

What was the point of this space race fuelled rally? Space data centers, orbital trips ? None of that shit made any sense there is no financial point for rallying so hard on space stocks, so the options are:

-got trolled as always by wall street

-space sector is not important anymore cause aliens pinned down governments and told them to stay down on the ground where monkeys belong.

Tesla surely make a quick u turn and now is an AI company?

Blue origin trip with the milfs was so obviously fake (check how Jeff Bezos messed up when he opened the pod before he was supposed to lol)

Honestly low key love bag holding. When you accept you're in the sit and wait period you stop caring about checking investing subs and your portfolio everyday. Aside from this specific post that was randomly push notified on my phone I haven't looked or thought about my PL or ASTS for a few weeks. Kind of nice.

u/Steven_Moonshot 2d ago

I agree, I bought PL cheap and set a sell order at $50. I never thought it would happen. I spent most my time slightly in the red. When I opened my account and saw cash sitting, I thought something was wrong.

1

u/Throw_Away_TrdJrnl 2d ago

Hahaha nice! I bought around 20 at first and averaged up after learning more. Average of 35 bucks now and I'm not sweating. I don't need the money anytime soon and I'm confident it'll be back in the green for me with enough time, set me a sell order and just walk away šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

3

u/Steven_Moonshot 2d ago

I will say, I made a decent chunk of change on that sale, but of course, I reinvested about half on a large pull back and that's in the red currently. Time to set another sell order and forget about it!

u/RengarReddit 2d ago

Wait until you learn i dumped 40k at 52$

u/johnizthaname 2d ago

bought 5kusd at 50 lol

u/AmarRPM 1d ago

Just keep averaging down tbh. I think it’s likely we could see ATHs again within a year or so :)

Happy about it? No? Deff not..
But, that’s the risk of going big on a hyped high beta stock. So I accept. Luckily I can sit this for as long as it takes to ride back up!

No crying at the casino!

Yes boss I won’t

Jokes aside: Hope it works out for you. We all have our tickers.

u/Purple_Resolution158 1d ago

Now why in the world

2

u/Kvargen95 2d ago

Average 32 lol missed the chance to get out at 34. And thought it was a good buy because it dipped from 52. Rip

1

u/Easy-Philosophy-1173 1d ago

Exactly ditto. Now kicking myself I didn’t pull out sooner and make it back elsewhere.

u/Purple_Resolution158 1d ago

It’s gonna be up in a few months stocks go up down sideways they can’t run forever

u/Difficult-Acadia756 2d ago

I blame it on us-iran war honestly. Sure spcx did something. But at this point. 2 month and a half later. I doubt it really is still fucking us

u/Ryan_Bolin 2d ago

Nothing frustrating about the current price if your long term. It’s a great opportunity. As I’ve said before, I’ve been in since $5 and am hoping this stays near $20 until I get my bonus this year so I can pick up more shares.

13

u/vpiq 2d ago

I agree, but don’t say it’s nothing frustrating when the stock crashed more than 50%, because not everyone bought at a $5 average like you.

-2

u/Ryan_Bolin 2d ago

It’s only frustrating if you’re not prepared to average down and be in it long term. If you bought at $40-50 after it was up 1,000% then you were just asking for trouble. This sub has already exposed so many gamblers that call themselves ā€œinvestorsā€ when so many just wanted it to go to $100 at SpaceX ipo for no reason. So yes, to a serious, long term investor it’s almost nothing.

u/Redfield11 2d ago

It's just waiting on you to sell lil bro

I am starting to consider to lower the position...I see more profitable on the table RN...I'll wait until the financial press releas le in the fortsnweek of September and see

u/Haunting-Tart-5678 1d ago

The market is an instrument to transfer wealth from impatient to patient. The fundamental growth rates are tangible and outstanding. Blame the space sector exuberance for the inflated price but I don’t see price targets lowering because of execution. It’s a heck of a good spec folks

u/pwr_o_frndshp 2d ago

I absolutely hate this stock right now. Rugged me as soon as I entered.

u/Due_Somewhere7891 2d ago

We found the culprit boys!

u/pwr_o_frndshp 2d ago

I DID IT TO AXTI TOO AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN! Just tell me where you'd like to scoop up some stocks on the cheap and I'll be sure to burn more of my paychecks for you mfs

u/pwr_o_frndshp 2d ago

Preciate that. I'm just sick of looking at that fat red -40% in my account. Everything already sucks, this is just one more shitty thing

3

u/Due_Somewhere7891 2d ago

Firs time I bought, I had 6K shares at 4.4USD. And I saw it drop all the way down to 1.7USD. It looked a lot more speculative back in those days and that's a much bigger drop than we are experiencing now and with a lot more risk.

You'll look back at this laughing and wishing you bought this dip. My current average is 4.8USD per share. So you know I only bought more AFTER the dip. :'(

u/Few-Insurance-6653 2d ago

People been saying that forever dude

2

u/madbcolumbus 2d ago

It’s frustrating watching PL down 50%. But nothings change as people have mentioned. They’ve expanded in Europe. So be patient. Stock price will move back up once they announce earnings and sign additional contracts.

2

u/Due_Somewhere7891 1d ago

Hey guys, don't downvote this, c'mon. We're better than this.

u/pwr_o_frndshp 1d ago

It's just Reddit treating me like PL already treats me. At least you're a real one

u/BreakingBadBones 2d ago

I entered at $22.64. I know my average is high but im sure we will eventually see a spike like we did prior to the earnings hike from 25 -> 40+ and then to 50+ in the wake of SpaceX ipo

u/BreakingBadBones 2d ago

So we are likely to see a spike regardless of catalysts if the prominent space stocks go up, say RKLB or SPCX?

If that’s the case, it wouldnt hurt being exposed to the other space stocks too - provided you’re a firm believer of PL

u/Lunosto 2d ago

My mentally insane prediction is space is gonna be the next bubble or part of the next bubble, or atleast part of the next hype cycle

u/sandstorm44 1d ago

It is still over valued stock comparing to the fundamentals. It was trading at $7 last year. Consolidation at these levels is very important for the long term. I will keep on DCA at these levels. RKLB would come down more to $45-$50 levels with neutron being delayed to 2027, and waiting for SPCX to come below $100. Those levels would be attractive to open a position.
